Chapter 258 – Owned by the Alphas Novel Free by Jen Cooper

Filed to story: Owned by the Alphas Novel

I felt underdressed, but I also had my magic so I wasn’t too intimidated.

“Yes. I’m the luna. I wouldn’t be much of one if I didn’t earn my spot,” I said, grinning.

She rolled her eyes, handing a rattle to Enzi. “I think that is your competitiveness more than anything, Sweetheart. Don’t let it make you stupid, okay?” she warned.

“We’ll look after her, Pearl,” Derik reassured.

I grinned and she nodded.

Galen smirked, hanging his arm on his knee as he gave Zale some of his food.

“You’re not competing?” I asked. Galen shook his head.

“He doesn’t compete,” Kai said, then grabbed my hand. “Let’s go or they’ll start without us.”

We went to the podium, greeting the other warriors. Mostly Kai’s pack. Hank was there, Taylor, Garrett. Even Anetta was there. All worthy opponents that made my confidence slip a little.

“You can sit out?” Derik tried.

I smirked and shook my head. “No. I want to do this. I’m ready.”

“Good,” he sighed. “Because it’s about to start,” Derik said before going to the start of the podium and calling everyone to attention.

I was a hybrid, and I had never participated before. This meant I was going to have to get creative if I wanted to win.

I smirked at my alphas who were chatting with the others. They didn’t know it yet, but they were going to help me do it.

2. The Hunt

LORELAI

“Welcome to the Summer Games!” Derik called. Everyone cheered, and I stood between Brax and Kai, clapping with them.

“Our first event is The Hunt. Whoever gets the biggest catch will be the winner.

That catch will then be served at the feast later with the rest of the kills,” Derik explained.

Hmm, ew. I was not a fan of killing things or creatures, but I was a fan of winning.

This meant I was already thinking up ways to get out of it.

I was not above playing dirty when it came to my alphas. They liked me dirty, and that had apparently corrupted me because I was willing to use that to win.

“Are you ready, wolves?” Derik asked, turning to us. His eyes paused on me. I nodded as the others got rowdy, screaming out YES.

I smirked, and Derik came over, kissing me on the lips a second before everyone ran off into the forest that edged the grasslands.

“Put your kills by your name on the podium!” Derik called out. “You have an hour!”

Then he turned to me, nodding to the forest. “Off you go, beautiful. I’ll be watching.” Derik smiled.

I turned and started walking. Brax and Kai had already taken off, playfully shoving at each other, trying to get to the forest first.

Everyone cheered as we went to the forest, the last ones to disappear behind the line.

I walked through the dense trees, stepping over branches and roots as I looked for a worthy kill.

I saw a bunny in the first few seconds, and I was not about to kill it. Not because it wouldn’t be a big catch, but because Enzi loved rabbits. I wasn’t about to kill one.

I knew Derik was following me. I couldn’t hear his footsteps, but I knew he was there.

“You won’t catch much if you keep stalking me instead of your prey,” I teased him in the link.

He chuckled. “You are my prey, Beautiful. Whether you realize that or not.”

I kept walking, checking through the forest, but hunting was harder than I thought it’d be.

“You don’t want to win this one then?” I asked Derik as I hunted, trying to find some tracks to follow. But there were only footsteps from others, clearly doing much better than I was.

“I’d much rather make sure you don’t get a stray arrow in you.”

I had nothing to say to that. I’d rather that too.

I kept walking, but I was a terrible tracker.

“You’re loud on your feet. Your breathing too. You scare everything away before you can see it,” Derik said in the link after a while, and I could hear the smirk.

I tried to be quieter, in steps and breathing, but that just made him chuckle again.

Which meant it was time to play dirty.

I checked in on Kai first.

“How’s The Hunt going?” I asked in the link.

“I am tracking an elk that will win. Why’s that, Little Luna? Having trouble?”

He was teasing me too. I rolled my eyes and went forward with my plan.

“I was thinking about that orgasm you wanted from me,” I teased. The link between us went tense, and I grinned.

I was hunting too, and my catch had just been snared. “Little Luna,” Kai growled.

“Want to come get it?” I taunted.

“Give me five, and I’m yours,” he said, his voice strained even in the link.

So I made it worse.

I sent through images of what I wanted him to do to me. Depraved sexual things that I knew would get to him.

Kai growled, his desire filtering through to me.

I smiled, heat flushing in me. I was not unaffected, but I could afford to be distracted. I wasn’t hunting elk, and I had Derik at my back.

Which meant Kai was the one in trouble here.

He knew that too, the indecision warring in the link.

That indecision cost him when an arrow sailed through the air in front of him.

I watched in the link as Brax killed the elk that Kai had been hunting. It was huge and would probably win. That pissed Kai off.

“That was evil, Little Luna. I’ve changed my mind; I won’t be giving you an orgasm.

I’ll be putting you on your knees in front of me for that little stunt,” Kai growled.

“Looking forward to it, Alpha,” I said in a moany voice that had him groaning in our link. He loved it when I called him that.

I smiled and waited.

Brax came sauntering out of the brush, kicking at the elk he had killed. “Mine,” he claimed the kill.

I heard them fighting ahead of me and snuck up to them, hiding behind the thick trees.

“Like fuck. Our luna was in my head running interference,” Kai snapped.

Brax let out a bellowing laugh before shaking his head. “Clever, Spitfire. Guess she really enjoyed that orgasm I gave her before.”

I covered my mouth with my hand so they couldn’t hear my laugh. I had enjoyed that.

Kai pulled Brax away from the elk. “It’s my kill.”

“Nope. I killed it. So by definition, it’s mine,” Brax defended, crossing his arms.
